Lars cc as above Good morning; apologies for late reply. Fully understand this; thank you for explanation; Best Nigel From: Lars Hoffmann <lars.hoffmann@icann.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2024 11:59 AM To: Hickson, Nigel (DSIT) <nigel.hickson@dsit.gov.uk> Cc: Lars Hoffmann via SubPro-IRT <subpro-irt@icann.org>; Avri Doria <doriavr@gmail.com>; Samantha Mancia <samantha.mancia@icann.org>; Kristy Buckley <kristy.buckley@icann.org> Subject: Re: [SubPro-IRT] Re: [Ext] Re: Publication of the ASP Handbook Hi Nigel – Thank you for reaching out about this and allowing us to explain: The ASP handbook had been published for public comment earlier this year. See link to the proceedings here: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/review-of-the-draft-appli.... All subsequent changes to the handbook were discussed in detail with the ASP sub track<https://community.icann.org/display/SPIR/ASP+%7C+Applicant+Support+Program>. The recordings of these meetings can be found here<https://community.icann.org/display/SPIR/ASP+Sub-Track+Meetings>. The IRT sub track members believed that the substance of the changes that the group agreed on following the public comment did not warrant another comment period. So, unless there are substantive changes made to the handbook prior to Board adoption, there will not be another public comment on the ASP handbook. I hope that makes sense. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions. Very best.

Our understanding is that the status of the v3 ASP Handbook is a "Draft Final Report--pending Board approval". Hopefully this addressed your question but please let us know if we can provide further clarity or information.

A question, do we define this non Board approved drift as as: - as a draft - as provisional - as subject to change - as unofficial/unapproved - ... The announcement seems to just indicate that it is the current version - seeming to indicate a certain amount of finality with indeterminate uncertainty. Thanks avri - On Mon, Aug 12, 2024 at 1:38 PM Samantha Mancia via SubPro-IRT <subpro-irt@icann.org<mailto:subpro-irt@icann.org>> wrote: Hello IRT members, I hope you are well. I am reaching out on behalf of the ASP team to let you know that the updated ASP Handbook (version 3) has been published on the ASP website: https://newgtldprogram.icann.org/en/application-rounds/round2/asp/handbook [newgtldprogram.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/newgtldprogram.icann.org/en/application-r...> The translations into the other ICANN languages are anticipated to be posted by the end of this week. Please note the Board-approved version of the ASP Handbook is pending the Board-GAC consultation in September, but in the meantime we are posting version 3 on the website to support communications and outreach efforts. Many thanks to the ASP IRT Sub-Track members whose contributions have been invaluable achieving this milestone!
